A Facebook friend listed the contents of her suitcase on the way home to her native country of Thailand. The list seemed fairly normal: sunglasses, bathing suit, and sheep placenta cream. I’m not joking. She really listed placenta cream as something to pack for her trip back home.
Of course, I had to ask her what it meant; inquiring minds want to know after all and the idea of sheep placenta cream half disturbed me and half intrigued me. I learned that sheep placenta was a wrinkle cream that her sisters and mom were crazy about. I did some quick Internet sleuthing on my own to uncover the mystery and history of sheep placenta cream, partially because I love how the name of it just rolls off my tongue and partially for the reasons mentioned above.
